My LBP cover design!
Archive: 23 posts
| Hey guys - here's my mock up for a LBP game cover! Hope you like! I went for a simple theme to let the game 'pop'.:o | 2008-08-31 10:38:00 Author: mrbobbyboy  Posts: 304 |

| Haha! Thanks, man! About two hours in all - I was playing with about four designs (I'll still post the others once I get around to finishing them!). I really like the UK box design but I wasn't that taken with the US version for some reason. I love a box design that just jumps out at you. I think that's the purpose of the cover, to both entice those who are already interested, and distract those that perhaps haven't considered it! I'll hopefully be posting lots more on here soon. I'm working on full level and object design when I can (these comics don't write themselves - especially not Transformers!). | 2008-08-31 10:52:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
Nice, though the background could of been better. Great work though!  P.S. Welcome to the forums! | 2008-08-31 10:53:00 Author: Unknown User  |
| Yeah, there's always room for improvement! I tried lots of different materials but they all cluttered the image. I'll have another bash at a different design and see what you guys think. Thanks for the feedback! | 2008-08-31 10:59:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| well no i think the background makes the rest of it stand out can't wait to see some others !! | 2008-08-31 11:12:00 Author: Thee-Flash Posts: 3154 |
| Thanks man! Just entered the caption comp! I'm loving the creative input on this site! | 2008-08-31 13:05:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
Great box! I just have a little big of constructive critisism... Take it or leave it  - I don't like the way the logo is red in this... its just too harsh and after seeing it that neutral blue for so long, it is kind of off-putting and somehow doesn't seem to reflect the game. - Also the order of the tagline... "Create. Play. Share." I am assuming you have done it this way either to be different or so that play is centered and the most prominant... but it doesnt seem right. The tagline as "Play, create, share" Seems to be in chronological order and play always seems to be prominant there anyway, since we read from left to right... I would suggest either making "Play." A little larger so that it looks like its one of those circular scrollers you find so often these days (Album art in itunes/songbird... Play TV etc) or restore it to its actual tagline. In any case, it is an awesome box and I hope it goes far | 2008-08-31 13:12:00 Author: Maltay  Posts: 2073 |
| Hey Maltay Always happy for crit - it's how we improve! The red was actually LBP red, selected from a material ingame, but I can see what you mean about the harshness. I just wanted to break the mould - something new is always refreshing. As for the order of the captions, I positioned in the order that the LBP universe will move in. Once we've finished the preset levels it's going to be all about creating, playing then sharing...well for me at least! Lots more coming! | 2008-08-31 13:57:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |

I see what you mean and I agree about having to break the mould, but sometimes it just doesnt work... Would could try a more pastel red or a green ? :S The preset levels is PLAY.... | 2008-08-31 13:59:00 Author: Maltay Posts: 2073 |
| yea i highly agree with maltay with his second statement you should make play bigger or have it as normal but your caption is to good lol curse you i liked my 1 to but it don't stand a chance now lol | 2008-08-31 14:01:00 Author: Thee-Flash Posts: 3154 |
| haha - thanks guys! Excellent feedback all round. All taken on board for future creations! | 2008-08-31 14:05:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| Cool, I'm working on mine. | 2008-08-31 14:28:00 Author: BasketSnake  Posts: 2391 |
| Good luck Basketsnake! There's some great ideas coming in from the fans! | 2008-08-31 14:30:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| Cool, I'm working on mine. Can't wait to see it, Snake. As for this cover: I really like it. The tagline does seem out of order, kind of strange, but I really, really like the red. | 2008-08-31 14:51:00 Author: bbroman  Posts: 1374 |
| Thanks bbroman! Coming from a real LBP fanatic that's one hell of a compliment! I'll keep trying to deliver the good stuff! | 2008-08-31 14:57:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| Thanks bbroman! Coming from a real LBP fanatic that's one hell of a compliment! I'll keep trying to deliver the good stuff! Strong views for and against the red Now you see the real problem and stress that graphic designers have... You gotta know the ideologies of different cultures and stuff.. I'm sure you had a great idea already though, being the writer of some award winning comics and whatnot | 2008-08-31 15:19:00 Author: Maltay Posts: 2073 |
Man ik like it but,I think the background is still kinda boring. Don't get me wrong it's cool  | 2008-08-31 15:25:00 Author: Yarbone  Posts: 3036 |
| Well, here's hoping! I'm a fan of the synergy between word and art so hopefully that'll come across in my pics and level designs - there'll be a good story-mode to all my creations. I think that's something that a lot of guys won't really bother too much with so hopefully it'll make my creations challenging and rewarding experiences! | 2008-08-31 15:26:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| Hey Yarbone - taken onboard. I'll be creating more exciting backgrounds soon! Just wanted simple and classic for take 1. Nice cover Basketsnake - really original feel! | 2008-08-31 16:03:00 Author: mrbobbyboy Posts: 304 |
| I moved basketsnakes post to the main cover challenge thread (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=1147), as this is primarily for mrbobby showing his entry and looking for feedback, but in hienzsight I should have copied it there .. Sorry Basketsnake, but you'll get more feedback from that thread anyway. | 2008-08-31 17:01:00 Author: Maltay Posts: 2073 |
| Hey, that's pretty cool. o.o | 2008-08-31 17:42:00 Author: aer0blue  Posts: 1603 |
